Brighton vs Ipswich Town Preview
- Tournament: Premier League
- Date: Saturday, September 14
- Kick-off Time: 2:00 pm GMT
- Venue: American Express Stadium
Brighton manager, Fabian Hurzeler has been among the headlines for his team’s display on the pitch. The club has had an excellent start to the season winning two out of their three fixtures and a 1-1 draw at Arsenal. They are currently third sitting two points behind Champions Manchester City and Liverpool. There were a lot of questions when the season started with the departure of Roberto De Zerbi but Hurzeler, the youngest Premier League manager has brushed aside all the questions with the results. They have been particularly solid in defence with just conceding twice and also managed a 2-1 win over Manchester United, where Joao Pedro netted the winner in the stoppage time.
The seagulls will be facing Ipswich Town, who have been dealt with a tough start this season. They returned to the top flight football with a game against Liverpool and then a trip to Manchester City. The third game saw them get a point against Fulham. They will have a mammoth task to defeat Brighton, who have shown promise at both ends of the pitch.
Ipswich in the first month has already been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by AFC Wimbledon on penalties after a 2-2 draw. They will be hoping to get their act right to survive in the top-flight football. They have added the likes of Liam Delap and Sammie Szmodics, who scored 27 goals in the championship last year.
Brighton Team News
The Seagulls will look to continue their momentum against a side that is not expected to compete, but in football, we cannot rule out anything. For the game, Brighton will be without their new signing Matt O’Riley due to an injury he suffered in his debut game. Joel Veltman is also doubtful for this fixture with a thigh injury and there are no chances that Solly March would be fit until mid-October.
Ipswich Town Team News
They are clearly the underdogs in this game after having a string of difficult fixtures at the start of the season but will definitely look to come up with solutions to at least take a draw from the American Express Stadium. They will be without the services of Harry Clarke and George Hirst. Wes Burns may be available to play this week while Nathan Broadhead will return in the final weeks of September.

Key Players to Watch in Brighton vs Ipswich Town
Danny Welbeck (Brighton)
The former Manchester United and Arsenal Forward has already made his mark scoring two goals in three games and will be eyeing to add more to his tally against a side that is not much to be worried about. He did not have a great season the previous year scoring only five in 29 appearances. He will definitely be looking to carry on the momentum forward which he has gained under the new manager.
Joao Pedro (Brighton)
The attacker has been in the limelight after scoring the winner in the stoppage time against Manchester United to help his side pick up three points at the Amex Stadium. He has scored two times in three matches to be the club’s joint-top scorer alongside Welbeck. He will be someone that the fans will keep a lot of hope to lead their side in front of goal.
Brighton vs Ipswich Town Prediction
Ipswich have had a tough start to life and it would be a miracle if things go downhill for Brighton. The hosts will seek to get off to a great start after scoring the first goal in seven of their last eight games. They have also won the first half in four of their last five.
